The" statement continues: "Despite the- organized agitation, vituperation and clamorous provocation emanating from London, the porte has succeeded by dint of energy and watchfulness in proving to Europe that the alarm of its English insnlters is,- unfounded. The porte does not associate the British natipn, for which it has the highest- regard, with the Agitation of a few hot-brain politicians who are led astray by their passions, The moderation of the European nations, will, far more than the vociferation England, help the porte to foreigners and Turkish subjects in the*. capital &ga.inst the plots of re volu Zionists." pemoprats.
